Yes, I am a sinner. Yes, I do wrong things each day. Yes, I am not who I should be to myself and other people. Yes, I complain. Yes, I let fear win. Yes, I am negative. Yes, I do not always show my joy. Yes, I let the bad things in this world get… Continue reading Yes, but…

I Need THE Shepherd!
God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing.You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Even when the way goes through Death Valley,I’m not afraid when you walk at my side.Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.… Continue reading I Need THE Shepherd!
Don’t Do It!
As a Christ follower living in this fallen world, we often see the worst in ourselves and others. Sometimes we see it happening, and other times we wake up and wonder how we arrived where we are. Yesterday, I was talking with some ladies I’ve known for over 20 years. Even though we don’t talk… Continue reading Don’t Do It!
Not the Ugly
I’ve mentioned before in my blog how we love to watch The Andy Griffith Show. When I’m at the gym on the machines, I watch it on my phone often laughing out loud and getting weird looks from others. As I was watching an episode the other day, I heard Barney say something we don’t… Continue reading Not the Ugly
The World Squeezes
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will… Continue reading The World Squeezes

Have Mercy!
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure… Continue reading Have Mercy!
At the Cross
Capital punishment has been around a long time. In Biblical days the Romans used crucifixion as one of their ways to punish criminals. Many people were hung on a cross. I think we forget this sometimes. The way Jesus died was an every day occurrence for the people back then. But the difference is Jesus… Continue reading At the Cross
Worried?
I know why God doesn’t want us to worry. It makes us so very unhealthy. It affects every part of our bodies until we can be literally sick to death. So, what are we supposed to do? How do we not worry about our spouse, parents, kids, friends, money, etc.? There’s a long list of… Continue reading Worried?
Psalm 61
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of… Continue reading Psalm 61
